Unity AI Asset Generation
Hello HN - like a lot of programmers, I am really excited by everything going on with ChatGPT/DALL-E. I am a game developer by trade, and I think there is a lot of potential to change workflows for game development. I was very inspired by Keijiro Takahashi's prototypes for asset generation using OpenAI within Unity, so I tried to make a more generic means of generating text and image assets within the Unity Editor using OpenAI's APIs. I've been surprised by the success so far - it definitely has it's limits, but I think we have just begun to scratch the surface of the potential here.
Unity AI Asset Generation launched on March 24, 2023 with 6 votes, #2,215 of 5,007 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
What it does
You can generate scripts, shaders, textures, and more with custom queries to ChatGPT through scriptable objects called "Generators". You can include multiple unique generators in to your project, so that you will know exactly what query resulted in your assets being generated. You also also re-run or modify your queries for fresh content. Note: This is an editor only package. Using this package at run time would involve shipping your API key to your clients, which is not recommended. Using OpenAI's Image Generation API (utilizing DALL-E), you can generate textures, background images, and concept for endless permutations and rapid prototyping. You can generate multiple images in parallel,…from recursiverhapsody.com

GPT image editing, but for 3D models2025 · adamcad.com · ▲188Hey HN! I’m Zach one of the co-founders of Adam (https://www.adamcad.com). We're building AI-powered tools for CAD and 3D modeling [1]. We’ve recently been exploring a new way to bring GPT-style image editing directly into 3D model generation and are excited to showcase this in our web-app today. We’re calling it creative mode and are intrigued by the fun use cases this could create by making 3D generation more conversational! For example you can put a prompt in such as “an elephant” then follow it up by “have it ride a skateboard” and it preserves the context, identity and…
I made an AI pixel art generator for game devs2025 · pixel-gen.ai · ▲6It works by using open AIs new gpt-image API, image processing algorithms and some prompt engineering. Still has some limitations, but can already generate ready to use assets.
GladeKitApr 2026 · gladekit.com · ▲79We’ve been building GladeKit, an AI agent for Unity game development that works directly inside the editor. Instead of just generating code, it reads the actual project state: scene hierarchy, scripts, selected objects, component values, installed packages, and compiler errors - then takes actions inside Unity. What it does today: - 150+ native Unity actions (create prefabs, wire components, configure Animator Controllers, build UI, set up physics, lighting, and NavMeshes) - Reads real editor context before taking action - Project-aware modes for Agent, Debug, and Ask workflows -…
GPT Image2025 · gptimage.ai · ▲14Hey HN, I built a web tool that wraps the latest AI image generation models with a conversational interface. The main idea is you can iterate on images through natural dialogue instead of rewriting prompts from scratch each time. Key features I focused on: - Multi-turn editing (the AI remembers previous context) - Character/style consistency across multiple images - Multi-image fusion Not affiliated with OpenAI – the name is just a playful nod. Would love feedback from this community, especially on the UX and what features would be useful for technical users. Try it:…

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
